The company was founded in Roddino Alba in 1895 when Mauro Vittorio emigrated to Argentina wrote to his father Giuseppe to send him 200 barrels a ton one in the wine which he had sold to Santa Fe. This is documented by the correspondence preserved in the original company. Following Mauro Vittorio returned to Italy, it was 1911 and always in Roddino bought land obtaining twenty acres of vineyard and built a house, married and had 6 children. Some of them cultivated land, while Osvaldo and Vito came to Dronero and in the 1924 taked over a winery, which still exists, producing typical Piedmont wines. Today, the factory capacity is of 5000 hl. out of which 500 in oak barrels. The potential of the bottling area is about 4000 bottles / hour and the wines are sold both in Italy and abroad. About 20 years ago also, Giuseppe Mauro, a descendant of the fifth generation, has recovered old vineyards which produces the old "Nebbiolo of Dronero" (Chatus), grown in Valle Maira already in 1400, producing a wine called "drôné”. The vineyards are located in Dronero and Villar San Costanzo over 600 m. above sea level. Production is limited and the bottles are numbered.
